Psalm 136 Let Us with a Gladsome Mind

1.  Let us with a gladsome mind
    Praise the Lord who is so kind:
    For God's mercies shall endure.
    Ever faithful, ever sure.

2.  God, with all-commanding might,
    Filled the new-made world with light:
    For God's mercies shall endure.
    Ever faithful, ever sure.

3.  All things living God does feed,
    With full measure meets their need:
    For God's mercies shall endure,
    Ever faithful, ever sure.

4.  Let us with a gladsome mind
    Praise the Lord who is so kind:
    For God's mercies shall endure.
    Ever faithful, ever sure.
